Allegiance to the Outdoors

Author: GSLC

NARRATOR: We are coming up on the time of the year when weuse the outdoors more, rather we are hiking the trails of America orjust going to the park. Each of us, as Cub Scouts, owes an allegianceto the outdoors just as we do our flag. Each Cub Scout should knowand understand the outdoor code.

Cub # 1. As an American, I will do my best to be clean in myoutdoor habits; I will keep my trash and garbage out of America’swaters, fields, woods and roadways.

Cub # 2. Be careful with fire: I will build my fire in a safe place and be sure it is out before Ileave.

Cub # 3. Be considerate of the outdoors: I will remember that the use of the outdoors is aprivilege I can lose by abuse.

Cub # 4. And be conservation minded: I will learn to practice good conservation of soil,waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, and wildlife and I will urge others to do thesame.
